Phoenix is 9-10 and six games behind Seattle in the Western Conference and in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2012 while suffering some key injuries this season. The Mercury have not played particularly well at home where they have lost five of their past seven games, including a loss to Seattle going into the Olympic break. Meanwhile, Atlanta is only 6-13, but the Dream are 10-2-1 ATS their past 13 games as road underdogs, and they have covered the number eight of their last 11 road contests. The Mercury are 3-9-1 ATS its past 13 home games and 2-6 ATS as favorites overall. Diana Taurasi is questionable (wrist) for Phoenix, which can't seem to overcome its many injuries. Take the points with the Atlanta Dream for my WNBA Game of the Month.
